Summary

A beautiful Rayquaza GX Secret Rare presenting very well from the front with strong visual appeal. The overall grade is primarily limited by minor corner and edge whitening on the reverse, along with noticeable back centering issues.

ROI

While the front is exceptionally clean, the accumulated minor whitening on multiple back corners and edges will likely limit this card to an 8 or 8.5. At this grade level, the market value is roughly equivalent to a raw Near Mint copy, meaning grading may not provide a strong return on investment unless done for personal collection or preservation.
